Wairarapa college - This was a 2+ year job consisting of installing a lot of drainage and plumbing . I installed things like grease traps , man holes , sumps , soak pits , 100mm fusio-therm water mains and general plumbing.
Greytown School - I started this job laying a 150mm drain at 1:150 gradient over 100 meters. I would then backfill and compact the trench along with laying services like water mains and conduits. I gained good experience from this as we had a tight time line and a very small working environment.
Kuranui College - I did mostly drainage here - Like soak pits , storm water connections , laying services and down pipes. All while school is running , which taught me good time management.
